watering
Snow crocus (Crocus chrysanthus) needs to be watered once a week, using only small amounts of water so that the soil is slightly moist but not waterlogged. It should not be watered too often, as this can cause root rot or other issues. During the colder months, it is best to water only when the soil begins to feel dry. During the warmer months, it may need to be watered twice a week, when the soil starts to dry out. Make sure that the soil drains well.

pruning
Snow crocus should be pruned in late winter or early spring, before new growth emerges. Pruning should be light and limited to removing dead flower stems and foliage. It is important to avoid cutting off any healthy stems or foliage, as this could decrease flowering for the next season. If there are any faded or discolored flower heads, they should be snipped off at the base. If the foliage is looking sparse, lightly tidying up the foliage can help reduce the spread of disease.
